  • Sante Fe Irritation - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    We are not getting near the gas mileage as listed by the manufacturer and find this very disappointing. We are irritated enough about it that we have discussed trading it in to get another (more expensive) vehicle of the same size which gets better mileage. Although I really do not like the exterior design we were pleased with the overall performance, interior looks, and handling. It has lots of pep.

  • Big Buck Bang - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    You want more bang for your buck?? Then youd better get a Santa Fe. Im a tall man and need a little more leg room at the drivers seat. Other than that I love my car.Very very reliable. Not one problem after 14 months of driving.

  • Pleasant surprise - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I have to admit I had my doubts, but this suv has surpassed all expectations. It is a real pleasure driving this vehicle, especially since I traded in my old car and got this suv.

    The best SUV on the market for the money, who needs 4wd, when the frt wheel drive is just as good in snow & ice.

  • love my hyundai - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    i was so excited to get my first new car in 30 years and i couldnt have made a better choice and the price is perfect so many standard features helped me make the decision. I picked arctic blue because everyone has silver and the color is getting old,at least i can find mine in a sea of silver at the mall. i love the stereo system.the ride is smooth not bumpy like my brothers jeep liberty,even he agreed.and wished he had checked into the sante fe before he had puchased his liberty. and thats why i love my hyundai!!!!!!!!

  • Eat Your Heart Out Ford Explorers - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    I bought this vehicle for the quality, price, the warranty, and the reputation the company has. I have never been disappointed in any of its features. I had a Ford Exploder before this with the 4.0 SOHC and the Santa Fe will not only run away from it but get gobs better gas mileage while doing it. It handles like a dream in mountain curves and straight aways never wandering or feeling like you were out of control. The Ford product did not give you this same sense of security. I have done nothing but drive the vehicle and have not had ONE single incident where I had to take it to the garage for any repairs. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

  • best vehicle i ever bought - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    By -

    THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. THE V6 ENGINE HAS GREAT POWER AND RUNS VERY QUIET. IT IS ALSO A COMFORTABLE RIDE NOT ONLY IN TRAFFIC BUT ON ROAD TRIPS. FUEL ECONOMY IS NOT THE BEST. I GIVE THIS VEHICLE A VERY HIGH RATING OVERALL.

  • Best of its kind - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
